Got these in yesterday from HLJ. 

The green on EVA 01 renewal is very bright, almost has a glowing effect.

I’m glad not many people are interested in the Hi-Nu. Will make it easier to order for me. 😛

It is going to be hilarious if the Hi-Nu is the easiest Metal Build to pre-order because no one likes the shield.

So they're clones? That all think they're the original? Or are they alternate reality Fockers?😄

Oh, like in Oblivion where Tom Cruise was cloned. Would that make sqidd Sally then? 😁

New pictures are up on Taghobby of CCS Toy's Shin Getter 1.

Thanks no3Ljm!

I would have preferred them sticking with/doing a non-transformable figure. Though this might be a good work around for people that can't get Bandai DX figures. I agree with the above posts that doing Zentraeadi figures would have been a better decision. A 1/72 Regult with Threezero's paint work would be amazing to see.

Sooo are CCS Toy updates still being posted in this thread? New pictures are up on Taghobby of CCS Toy's Shin Getter 1.

What is the Tran Am reference too? Traditionally Tran Am is short for Trans American and is used in reference to racing.

Think going super saiyan but for a Gundam. I am guessing the creators thought the name sounded cool or it for the fact the Gundam's speed was overclocked. 

EVA 00 BBTS!!! GO GO

First time pre-ordering a Macross DX figure through US retail (BBTS). I hope this is a start of a new trend. 

Also just placed my order for the GFFMC Wing Gundam.

Sweet Christmas!!! Bandai Slow Down!!! So many amazing reveals in so little time... my wallet... breathe wallet, breathe damn it!

So I am in for:

GFFMC: Wing Gundam, Deathscythe, Shin's Zaku, and Johnny's Zaku.

Metal Build: Hi-v Gundam (no brainer), Strike Noir, Providence Gundam, X-0 Full Cloth, Gurren SEITEN, EVA 0 (looks amazing, worth the wait), and EVA weapon packs

Metal Robot Spirits: Re-GZ Custom, Hrududu

Robot Spirits: Gouf Custom, Anchor Gundam, Phantom Gundam V2, EVA Mark 06, EVA 02 beta, EVA 08 alpha

That will be all my monies. 

They will also show EVA 00 Metal Build. Looking forward to that. I don't see why they keep re-releasing EVA 01 and 02. I know both sell well but the EVA mold is the same for any given unit. So just give us the different units with some re-releases or special colors in between. 

Looks like the EVAs are the same but come with more weapons.

So a "What if..." design? An MSV, so to speak...

Bingo, 👍  For whatever reason I always like the MSV designs more than the anime designs.

Keeping up with all the variants of the Unicorn, large and small, is such an affair.  What are we up to now?

- 01 Unicorn, white/red
- 01 Unicorn FA, white/green, + FA equipment(, in manga, + spear axe)
- 01 Unicorn "psychoframe crystals version"???

- 02 Banshee, black/gold (manga only)
- 02 Banshee, + railgun, + claw (anime default)
- 02 Banshee Norn, - railgun, - claw, + giant shield, + "wings," + grenade launcher attachment

- 03 Phenex, gold/blue, + 2x giant shield
- 03 Phenex "NT version," same as above, + 2x shield "tails"

- 04 Unicorn Perfectibility, white/blue, + 2x giant shield, + 2x shield "tails," + railgun, +claw, + "wings," + spear axe
- 04 Unicorn Perfectibility Divine, same as above, + partial FA equipment (backpack-mounted rocket launcher + grenade launcher + dual gatling guns, long-range rockets)

Where does the Perfectibility even appear? I'm gonna guess it's Gundam NT...

I wish it was from Gundam NT. Perfectibility comes from an official animation short shown with the life sized Unicorn Gundam. It is alternate final form for the Unicorn and was used in the anime short instead of the Full Armor. 

Wow, that is damn cool. That is my favorite version of the Unicorn and tempting to pre-order.

MRD Gundam TR-1 Hazel Custom displayed at Tamashii Nations Tokyo

 

Looking good! 

MRD Wing Zero back up at HLJ if you need one

Yeah, my knees needed a bit of tightening. I was surprised they didn't use ratchets of some sort with the weight of the figure. And the boxes are massive. I needed my wife to hold the printed box while I pulled the Styrofoam tray out. 

Nice, I am still waiting for my second one to ship. I opened up my first one and damn is it nice!

Already POed with BBTS with a non refundable deposit. 

Same here. I was so confused why BBTS needed a non-refundable deposit. If any of the pre-orders were cancelled they would be taken by other customers. This figure isn't going to be a shelf warmer.

Now, now, however, I don't mind if Bandai will starts making the 'AoZ' mechas in MB form as long that it's not too over 'MB-stylish'.  

I'm pretty sure I will need bigger room for those and probably sell stuff too. 

 

AoZ mecha in the MB line would be awesome to see. And I would have to make a ton more space also.
